The Coordination Group of the Anti-terrorist Centre at the SBU Office in Ivano-Frankivsk region conducted planned countersubotage training exercises.

The regional SBU units, the National Police, the National Guard, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the State Border Guard Service, State Emergency Service, the State Special Communication Service and also the representatives of regional and local authorities took part in the event.

According to the scenario of exercises, a group of conditional saboteurs tried to commit explosions in public places and disrupt the work of the central railway station.

During training exercises, the law-enforcement officers found and defused two improvised explosive devices, planned by the "saboteurs" and identified signs of offenders, detected and arrested them. SBU special-task unit fighters destroyed a group of "terrorists” who barricaded themselves inside one of the facilities.

According to Coordination Group’s estimates, training will improve level of participants’ readiness to perform tasks.
